I suspect The only Navy in Nepal has a 2 man canoe on a melting glacial stream though & possibly a rubber dinghy on a jungle stream in the monsoon!

Nice assortment of goodies!

Spiral, are you into slagging Nepalese people on a sword chat room? I happen to have family there and resent your childish stupidity. Lets keep the chat about edged weapons, not childish comments that have nothing at all to do with this forum.

Default Happy Christmas

Nepal is a land locked country? I think the comments were made in good humour? I think this is the nearest thing to a Himalayan conection to the sea and navy?

Easy goes it, Arny. Spiral has demonstrated great respect for and knowlege of the Nepalese people on this forum in the past. I suspect you are misinterpreting his comments as insults.

Take a look at his prior posts before taking offense...

Another Navy sounding even stranger than the Nepalese one is..
AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN!!!
And, nevertheless, they have their tradition and heroic tales to tell:

Lighten up guys. A Nepalese navy is akin to the Swiss navy.

Cheers

'chat room' ???? I agree Tim!!!
Have we been demoted to that from a serious and friendly discussion forum on weapons? Was we 'slagged' ? Ouch.
BTW....this note is meant as a humorous personal expression, perhaps we need to add disclaimers to avoid misunderstandings!

what ones like. " I happen to have family there and resent your childish stupidity" perhaps?



Not sure what part of my post you actually objected to? was it all of it? Ill try a few guesses as you were unable to be precise in your objections.


1, "Nepali Hindus dont like the dark sea though, it destroys there soul & eliminates there caste position & risks them entering there own form of purgatory." Is a true statement.

2,There sea sickness is legendary. There true landlubbers. This is recorded in numerous ww1 records & books, the genetic strengths which are many do not usually include bieng seafarers. {Look up Nepalese seamen on the net.}

3,I suspect The only Navy in Nepal has a 2 man canoe on a melting glacial stream though & possibly a rubber dinghy on a jungle stream in the monsoon! was tounge in cheek humour, but its also virtualy the truth.

Although according to Gillian Holdsworth they also have a pedadillo painted in military camouflage!

reference. linky

I suggest you Learn a little more about a country you have family in & its geography, religion & customs before commenting so rashly & incorrectly on my comments again.

Thankyou,

Have a good Christmas!

Don't patronize me Spiral. It was a childish comment out of line for this type of forum.

Lets stick to what this forum is intended for. Not your little tantrum just now. Where are you coming up with this accusing me of being the head moderater? Go swollow a sword and make sure it stays down in your gut.

Arny, it is you who is out of line. I rarely, if ever, take sides in a sandbox squabble, but in this case one party is clearly over-reacting and unreasonable, and that party is you. Granted, spiral's joking about Nepal might have been a bit tactless, but that does not make it offensive. It is not "out of bounds" for this forum. Get a sense of humor, or get a ban. Your choice.

I suggest getting this tread back on topic. Otherwise it will be locked and "purged" of the BS.
